12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. The 12
volt DC recharging procedure is recommended
only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the
12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the
battery system’s life.
1. Insert the gold-tipped end plug of the 12 Volt DC
Adapter plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC
accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet on the back
of the handle of the unit.
3. Charging time using this method is approximately 5 to 6 hours.
4. When charging is complete, remove the power cord and return it to the storage
compartment.
Note:
When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging/power
source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned on to power
the accessory outlet.
CAUTION
Before charging/recharging the unit’s battery, make sure all power
switches are in the OFF position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Spotlight
The quartz halogen Spotlight is operated by the two switches located on the side of
the unit. The top ON/OFF Switch controls the high beam (130 watt) function; the
bottom ON/OFF Switch controls the low beam (55 watt) function.
CAUTION
When using the 12 Volt DC Adapter to power the Spotlight (corded
mode), use the Low Beam ONLY.
Using the 3-LED Auxiliary Light
The 3-LED Auxiliary Light is operated by the LED Auxiliary Light ON/OFF Pushbutton
located on the top of the grip handle.

Control and Function Guide
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. It must be fully charged prior to first
use by either the 120 volt AC method (preferred) or the 12 volt DC method.
After charging, disconnect the Adapter from the external power source, then
disconnect the Adapter from the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet.
120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging
Plug the supplied 120 Volt AC Adapter’s plug into a
standard North American outlet. Connect the
adapter’s DC port to the AC Recharge Port located
on the top/rear of the grip handle. The LED will light
to indicate that the unit is charging. Time required to
initially charge the unit using this method is
approximately 30 to 35 hours. The LED Charging
Indicator will blink when the unit is fully charged.
The
Spotlight cannot be used while recharging
using this method.
